Viewbank

Viewbank is a residential suburb 15 km north-east of central Melbourne and east of Rosanna. Its name comes from the property and residence Viewbank, owned by Dr Robert Martin who came to the Heidelberg area in 1843. The area was a popular resort of the Melbourne Hunt Club towards the end of the nineteenth century. Viewbank adjoined the Banyule estate, and both extended southwards to the Yarra Valley.
